Jason Kelce’s offensive line comment made for an awkward TV moment 

Jason Kelce made an off-the-cuff comment about “pushing it on another grown man” during a discussion on trench warfare on – getting a hilarious response from his co-hosts

Jason Kelce continued his unorthodox and unpredictable approach to broadcasting with a comment during ESPN’s “Monday Night Countdown” broadcast that left his co-hosts, Ryan Clark and Marcus “Swagu” Spears, visibly stunned.

The moment came just before a rare doubleheader of Monday night NFL games, in classic Kelce fashion: raw, candid, and nearly flagrant. As the panel broke down the susceptibilities of the Dallas Cowboys defense, mainly their defensive line, host Scott Van Pelt asked Kelce about the physical dominance required in the trenches.

“When you start pushing them and they can’t stop you, that has to be the best feeling,” Van Pelt began. But before Van Pelt could finish his point, Spears interjected, sarcastically adding: “You didn’t have to ask him like that.”

Kelce doubled down on the awkwardness in the room and, in typical fashion, responded: “There’s nothing more I love than pushing it on another grown man and just taking it over.” The comment sent the set into chaos, with Clark bursting into laughter as he and Spears spun his chair around and buried his head in disbelief, covering his face in shock.

The live TV segment became even funnier after Kelce continued his analysis as if nothing had happened, delivering his usual precise analysis of the trenches with his signature twist of utilizing humor. Clark, still laughing, tried to collect himself and said, “Yeah guys, this might be the last one for me,” before regaining his composure and resuming his role of delivering polished and professional analysis of the Ravens-Cowboys matchup.

The moment represented what fans have come to expect from Kelce: a no-holds-barred authenticity that brings humor and energy to the often buttoned-up world of NFL commentary. It continued the funny moments that the Kelce brother had begun compiling just three weeks into landing his new gig.

In Week 2, Kelce took his off-field antics to “new heights,” joining Eagles fans in the parking lot tailgate party before their 22-21 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Dressed in an Eagle tracksuit, Kelce danced to a club remix of Tommy Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby” blasting through the speakers in a routine described as a “10 out of 10” performance online.

The viral moment spread like wildfire online, leading to Kelce addressing the buzz. “Sometimes you let the music take the body where it needs to be,” he joked. “My knees were sore though” – he added with a laugh.

During his analysis debut, Kelce admitted to forgetting his travel bag for the trip. Scrambling for a solution, he made a last-minute stop at a mall and picked up a shirt that was clearly too small.

“It fits my belly now. I’ve lost a little bit of weight but my —- are still struggling,” he said. The moment created such a stir that Kelce’s brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, revealed that he and pop star girlfriend Taylor Swift were cracking up while watching the NFL together.
